The PopTech Conference

“A must-attend for intellectual heavyweights…”
- Wired Magazine

Where & when does PopTech take place?

The PopTech conference is held every October, in the beautiful seaside village of Camden, Maine, at the height of the fall foliage season.

We meet in a beautifully restored, 19th-century opera house, to explore major trends shaping our future, the social impact of new technologies, and new approaches to addressing the world’s most significant challenges.

Who comes to PopTech?

Artists, designers, educators, filmmakers, technologists, explorers, architects, venture capitalists, writers, social innovators, teachers, bloggers, scientists, musicians, politicians – just about anyone with a curious mind and a passion for new ideas.

Why Come to PopTech?

Unlike traditional conferences, at PopTech you’ll find an eclectic network of industry leaders and one-of-a-kind thought-leaders from a huge variety of fields (see above) and a number of different places. They’re bound together by an intense curiosity about the forces, challenges and opportunities shaping our future.

The content of a PopTech conference is as diverse as the network itself – presentations range from the nature of disruptive innovation to the economics of human happiness; from the future of deep space exploration to new approaches to environmental stewardship. In the words of one participant, PopTech provides powerful “optics on the future.”

The breathtaking content, beautiful setting, intimate scale, and informal tone make PopTech an experience like no other. At the end, you’ll leave with dozens of new ideas, a better sense of where the world is headed, a new network of relationships and a lasting inspiration to create a better world.
